VCE Exams To Be Held In November

The Victorian Government has this morning announced that VCE exams will start in early November, with results to be be available by the end of the year.

Minister for Education James Merlino announced today that VCE exams will begin in the week commencing November 9, a month earlier than expected when learning from home was first announced.

The Minister says by bringing the date forward, thousands of students whose studies have been interrupted by coronavirus will have certainty.

“The revised dates mean students will get their results and an ATAR in 2020, giving them a clear pathway to further study or employment next year, and a break to celebrate the end of school" Mr Melino said.

The bring-forward of exams is a result of the earlier than expected return of on-site learning, which will begin for Year 11 and 12 students next Tuesday May 26.

The November date will give sufficient time for teachers and students to complete adjusted VCE Unit 4 learning and school-based assessments and prepare for VCE examinations.

Exams will be completed by 2 December, allowing ATAR scores to be calculated and VCE, VCAL students to get their results before the end of 2020.

Importantly, the change means university offers can be made to Victorian students like their peers around Australia.

The General Achievement Test will also be held towards the end of Term 3, on Wednesday, 9 September 2020.
